Description

Almost every new mum in Ireland today is a millennial and she is more connected and spends more time online than any other demographic. But who is the millennial mum and how do you reach her in a meaningful way that makes your brand the best answer for her and her family?

Far from being one like-minded consumer set, millennial mums are an increasingly diverse demographic and failing to recognise this will cost you dearly - mums control 85% of all purchasing decisions in households.

Mums have always been highly influential, but millennial mums are also top consumers and sharers of online reviews and visual content meaning their views and influence now reach further than their close set of family and friends. They often give opinions and recommendations, and frequently affect the purchasing decisions of their peers.

Growing up online, millennial mums are also savvy to empty marketing messaging – 70% of millennial parents say they have chosen not to purchase something because they don’t believe in what a company stands for.

Using research, behavioural data and social insights, this presentation demonstrates what is important to mums in Ireland right now and how to create the type of content that will answer millennial mums questions, validate her decisions and demonstrate clearly the value you bring to her life.
